Silverware galore at Dexter prize night

The Dexter Cattle Society NI Group Annual Dinner and presentation of trophies took place on Saturday, November 4, at the Ramble Inn, Antrim.

After an enjoyable meal the cups and trophies were presented by Chairman of the Dexter Society Council Mike Frazer.

As the National Show for the Dexter Society was held this year at the Balmoral Show there were a lot of trophies to be presented. During the year a number of Young handler competitions took place and cups were won by Nathen Tumelty and Alanna and Jane Bloomer.

The show season started with the RUAS Show Balmoral where the winners were as follows:

The Presidents Cup for Champion: Matthew and Allana Bloomer

The Dettingen Cup - Reserve Champion: Montgomery and McClenaghan

The Bingham Family Cup - Cow with Calf at foot: Montgomery and McClenaghan

The Roxan Prize for highest points for a Home Bred Herd: James McCullough

The evening concluded with a very successful raffle and auction which raised funds for Cancer NI.

Chairman James Eccles thanked Mike Frazer for presenting the cups, everyone for coming and congratulated all the prize winners. He also thanked the Ramble Inn staff for an excellent meal and service, Willeen Montgomery for organising the dinner, Alex Montgomery for supervising the raffle and Susan McCullough who was photographer on the night.
